Raw, baked, pureed—we love apples any way we can have them and so does your baby, most likely. Apple sauce is among the most popular baby foods, after all. Its naturally sweet taste appeals to any baby’s taste buds, and it’s universally known for its high nutritional value. An apple a day keeps the doctor away, remember?

Though as great as apple sauce is, why not mix it up for your little foodie-in-training? Apple pancakes are a delicious twist on one of the most classic breakfast foods. While it’s common to spice them up with blueberries or chocolate chips, apples add a more subtle sweetness to your pancakes. No sugar is needed as the apples, maple syrup, and ground cinnamon will provide all the flavors you’re looking for. This recipe is also great for when you have extra apple sauce (homemade of course!) lying around.
